After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

"idiot!"

"Why haven't the garrison troops outside the pass sent out yet?"

Inside the Kwantung Army's command room, Umezu was so angry that his face turned pale!

The marching speed and attack speed of the New First Front Army always refresh their cognition!

The speed was so fast that they were delayed for less than half an hour before they were directly bitten, and at the same time a large amount of firepower and response measures were deployed.

In just over ten minutes, there were heavy casualties!

If there is no other way to deal with it, I am afraid that our morale will be completely destroyed!

He is still clear about the principle that a defeat is like a crushing defeat!

"General Meijin, don't you think there is something strange about this matter?" The deputy paused slightly.

"What's weird?"

"General Mei Jin, not only has the Qingang garrison suddenly lost contact, but the reinforcements that were supposed to come to support us have not been seen yet!"

"Also, Commander Yamamoto of the Navy just sent a message that they have lost contact with the two fleets in Qingang at the same time!" The deputy said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Lost contact at the same time?" Mei Jin's heart subconsciously tightened, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

"General Mei Jin, do you think Qingang and the two fleets will..." The deputy hesitated to speak.

"There is absolutely no such assumption!" Mei Jin interrupted him with a wave of his hand, his face now ashen.

Most of the New Front Army is on the front battlefield, and it is impossible to mobilize extra troops to intercept from behind and enter the Qingang area!

As for Qingang Port, that is even more impossible!

There are two elite naval forces of the empire in Qingang, and the land firepower cannot possibly have any impact on it!

After Mei Jin finished speaking, his deputy nodded quickly, but then his brows were almost furrowed into a shape of a "川"!

"General Mei Jin, what should we do now?" The deputy took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

The situation on the battlefield has now developed to the point where it is out of control!

In just ten minutes, the number of imperial soldiers killed has exceeded 20,000!

Thinking of this, the deputy's entire body began to tremble slightly!

"Retreat to the Qingang area at all costs!" Mei Jin said with a gloomy face after hesitating for a moment.

"But General Umezu...at least four of our divisions and two brigades have been held hostage by the New First Front Army!" the deputy said with a bitter look on his face.

In particular, the Miyamoto Division and the 233rd Division were also bitten, these are the elite of the empire!

The total number of troops trapped has exceeded 150,000!

If we retreat to the Qingang area at all costs now, we can even retreat to Qingang Port!

Then everything will be over!

"Notify me!"

"Concentrate all the army's firepower to break the New Front Army's firepower blockade!"

"All troops should retreat lightly into the Qingang area!" Mei Jin said with a sinister look on his face.

"General Mei Jin, we were caught by the Xia army..." The deputy said halfway, looked up and met Mei Jin's cold eyes, then suddenly stood at attention.

"Hayi!"

......

"Minister Wang! Urgent information!"

"The Japanese are mobilizing a large amount of firepower to concentrate on the eastern battlefield!"

At the temporary command post of the New First Front Army, Zhou Weiguo quickly opened the door of the command post and walked up to Wang Ke to report.

"Eastern battlefield?" Wang Ke frowned subconsciously.

"Correct!"

"And Minister Wang, the Japanese are still reducing their load. All the heavy infantry are lightly equipped to maximize their mobility!"

"The eastern battlefield is currently under heavy firepower impact!" Zhou Weiguo reported in a deep voice.

"Minister Wang, are the Japanese trying to break out?"

"But this is unlikely!"

"We are holding back at least hundreds of thousands of troops on the front battlefield!" Kong Jie couldn't help but speak out.

"How is it impossible!"

"It seems to me that the Japanese want to cut off the gecko's tail!" Yang Song on the side curled his lips and said.

"Gecko breaks its tail?"

"Old Yang, what you mean is that these captured Japanese soldiers have become abandoned?" Kong Jie reacted instantly.

"Yes! Otherwise, the Japs wouldn't have thrown away all their heavy equipment!"

"Considering how stingy the Japs are, and that they all went into battle lightly equipped, it's obvious that they're risking everything!" Yang Song shook his head.

The heavily armored troops are the ones who fight the toughest battles on the battlefield, and now Mei Jin's move clearly shows that he has given up the idea of fighting head-on!

"Hmm!" Wang Ke nodded thoughtfully.

"Chief of Staff Wang, why don't we let the 29th Army go?" Song Zheyuan on the side couldn't help but speak up.

The troop mobilization of the New First Front Army has reached its limit, with more than 200,000 troops tying up nearly 300,000 troops!

And it’s still a siege!

The Eastern Front was under tremendous pressure. Without the mobilization of troops, the entire encirclement would be broken!

"No need!" Wang Ke shook his head.

"Chief of Staff Wang, although the 29th Army suffered heavy casualties, we can still fight!" Song Zheyuan continued to volunteer.

"Commander Song, even if the Japanese retreat into the Qingang area now, they won't be able to cause any big waves!" Wang Ke said in a deep voice.

"Chief of Staff Wang, there is a division of the Japanese still stationed in the Qingang area. Although I don't know why they haven't appeared yet, they are definitely a time bomb!"

"This matter cannot be underestimated!" Song Zheyuan couldn't help but speak.

Once the two Japanese forces meet up, the Kwantung Army can rely on the Qingang area for defense, and with the help of the navy, it can be said that it is a fight to the death!

"Commander Song, don't worry. I'm afraid the Qingang area is already in chaos!"

"As for Mei Jin, the commander-in-chief has already arranged a burial place for him!" Although Wang Ke looked calm, his tone was full of unquestionable authority.

During the time she has been with Qin Feng, her demeanor has become extraordinary.

However, if outsiders heard what she said, they would be shocked.

How could the death of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army be decided so easily?

However, none of the army commanders present expressed any doubts, simply because this was a mission that their commander-in-chief was personally leading!

Not to mention Umezu Mijiro, even if the commander-in-chief personally led the team to the Japanese mainland one day, they would firmly believe it!

Just when Song Zheyuan wanted to say something, Wang Ke changed the subject and gave an order.

"Zhou Weiguo!"

"Notify Chen Zheng's Fourth Army in the East to withdraw from the battlefield!"

"Ding Wei!"

"Kong Jie!"

"Cheng Zhen!"

As soon as Wang Ke's words came out, the three of them immediately straightened their backs and spoke in unison.

"Minister Wang!"

"After the Japanese enter the Qingang area, the rest depends on you three!" Wang Ke said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The three of them stood at attention suddenly.

"But Minister Wang, how do we fight this?" Kong Jie couldn't help but ask.

"The commander-in-chief will give you orders!"

Wang Ke spoke slowly.

"Commander-in-Chief?"

"Minister Wang, are you saying that the commander-in-chief has already completed it in Qingang?" Kong Jie's face was full of disbelief.

"Well, this mission cannot afford any mistakes!"

"Yang Song! You take a group of death squads and arrive at Qingang Port first. Make sure the commander-in-chief is safe and there must be no mistakes!" Wang Ke ordered quickly.

"Yes! Minister Wang!" Yang Song stood at attention.

"All other troops must wipe out these Kwantung Army troops before the battle in Qingang area ends!" Wang Ke shouted.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

......

"commander!"

"You said what Chief of Staff Wang said just now..." After leaving the command center, Song Zheyuan's deputy couldn't help but speak.

The Qingang area is in chaos?

And the Qingang Port?

And throughout the whole journey, people felt that the New First Front Army was eager for the Japanese to withdraw into the Qingang area!

But allowing the Kwantung Army to successfully withdraw to Qingang, wouldn't that be a situation with only disadvantages and no benefits?

"I don't know, but this matter is definitely not that simple!"

Song Zheyuan shook his head.

"So Commander, what should we do now?"

"The 29th Army will quickly assemble and follow the New First Front Army into the Qingang area!"

After pondering for a moment, Song Zheyuan said with a serious expression.
